Most of us at some point or another in our lives have found ourselves either literally or figuratively falling to our knees to cry out, for whatever reason, “God help me!”
In Luke, chapter 15, Jesus teaches three parables describing lost items. You have heard and read these parables a dozen or more times. The first earthly story with a heavenly meaning is the Parable of the Lost Sheep. The third parable is The Prodigal Son.
